Rat Holder Bins

Hope you're not still using cedar.. Going to kill the rats as well as the snakes... Cedar's only good for inside dog beds to keep bugs away.

We mostly use the rodent bins from Big Apple but recently we made a large bin to hold resting females and over stock feeders. We got the idea from Cassandra but her food hoppers are neatly squared and ours are round. Cassandra and her husband put in a lot more time in making theirs and you can totally tell.

This is a 105 qt Sterilite bin from Walmart

This is the top with the hopper feeder (I think that's what it's called)

We use zip ties for the mesh cloth and don't have any venting around the side because our bins are in a green house where air is circulating 24/7 and it never gets hotter than 87. We have never had an escapee and have been using it for about 5 months.
